So even if you're just having a normal conversation about it, and you happen to mention a demon's name, you are invoking it? Sort of like...you're getting its attention?

I know that a lot of it depends on pronunciation...many of these names that are attatched to demons are quite complicated to say...as far as just a conversation, I really don't know. It is my opinion that they thrive on attention of any kind...so an extensive conversation about one may bring it about....especially if the name is said more than once.

I will not saying let a demons name bother me. Does that make me lucky? Or does that make me stupid? Or is my belief (or lack of ) protecting me?

Belief bias occurs when we make illogical conclusions in order to confirm our preexisting beliefs. Belief perseverance refers to our tendency to maintain a belief even after the evidence we used to form the belief is contradicted.
